Nick Peterson
Editor-in-Chief
On January 28, 2000,
the Intensive English Institute
(IEI) left California Baptist
University forever. Kent
Dacus, Vice President of
Student Services, brought IEI
to CBU around 1988. At the
time IEI was its own company.
Since then, the owner retired,
and his children sold IEI to
another company, Aspect.
IEI students who came
here this semester have been
transferred to other schools
working with Aspect, most of
which are in New York,
Boston, and Burbank, according to Kathy
Baameur, Director of IEI. Baameur, who will
be accepting a job at UCR after leaving CBU,
also said that, as far as she knows, "None of
the Aspect Schools we're transferring students
to our Christian schools."
Those are the facts, IEI is gone, and it
will not be back. Exactly why IEI left is an
area of some confusion. According to Dr.
Evans, Senior Vice President, CBU signed a
contract with IEI in December or January, and
the contract lasted through the end of the
semester. IEI made the decision to leave before
its contract expired, said Evans. Dacus, who
had the most day-to-day contact with the IEI
program, agreed, but also said that IEFs departure was a mutual decision reached by IEI and
CBU. Baameur, however, said that IEI only
left because CBU made it
very clear that they would
not renew the contract,
which expires at the end of
the semester. Baameur
also said, "Dr. Ellis said
that TEI just is not making
enough money.'" Baameur
said that the reason IEI's
contract was not being
renewed was that it wasn't
bringing enough students
or making enough money
to make it worthwhile to
the administration.
This view is dismissed
by Dacus. "The problem
[with IEI]," said Dacus,
"was the contract.
According to Dacus the contract simply was
not beneficial for CBU. He'refused to elabo
rate in detail; other than to say that CBU was
required to make rooms available for IEI stu
dents, even if they didn't attend. And that stu
dents were occasionally refused rooms to
make room for IEI students who backed out of
the program before they ever got to Riverside.

Last week with the suspension of three
players, CBU seemed destined for a losing streak, but the team proved they could
overcome setbacks with the 97-86 win last
night over Fresno Pacific. However, they
had their humble beginnings, starting with
the win of Azusa Pacific University, final
score: 111-80. The two highest scoring
